Frequency

The output frequency is controlled with the FREQuency command. To set the output
frequency to 50 Hz, use:

FREQuency 50

Turning on output voltage at a specified phase angle

The following command sequence will turn the output voltage on at a specified phase angle.
This may be required to measure worst case inrush current.

/* Set up sequence
VOLT 0

Set output voltage to zero

OUTP 1

Close output relay

OUTP:STAR:STAT 1

Enable start phase mode

OUTP:STAR:PHAS 90

Set start phase angle to 90 degrees

OUTP:DROP

Put AC source in infinite drop mode

/* Turn on sequence
VOLT 230

Turn on voltage to 230 V at 90 degrees

Current Limit

To set the RMS current limit use:

CURRent

where is the RMS current limit in amperes.

If the load attempts to draw more current than the programmed limit, The AC source is
programmed to turn off its output if the RMS current limit is reached.

Note:

The CURRent command is coupled with the VOLTage:RANGe.This means
that the maximum current limit that can be programmed at a given time
depends on the voltage range setting in which the unit is presently
operating.
